IF this is true?

How committed is Satae going to be in the Derby?

The big question is why would Wakefield sanction the move if we’re getting whitbread

I can see Catalan doing it: they’re getting a big boppa who can skittle defenders

We’re getting an efficient forward who can shore up our D. At the expense of our go forward.

But Wakefield lose one of their best players to a team around them and don’t appear to have anyone lined up.

I’m so disappointed in how Joey has turned out, looked like he could be the ideal utility player but he’s playing out of position and been exposed to frequently. If he wasn’t a quota spot I would probably give him till end of season to fix his form but he’s not.

I’d be trying to offload him to cas/wakey instead of letting Satae go. Cas only seem to have mcshane and have been putting Lawler at hooker. A player like Joey should be on their wish list.

Do you mean Nathan Mason? That’s only a two week loan. Who in the right mind would let one of their top players leave for a 2 week loan that might not be extended. Wakey also currently have the cap to run them both so why wouldn’t they

Yes Mason

What happens if Wakey or Cas don't want Joey. You can't just force a club to take some of our players.

If we're working on trades/swaps the deal has to be favourable to both clubs.

We might offload Satae to Cats and get Whitbread from Wakey by paying a fee.

The outside back one is interesting..

Yeah I thought that too. I think our backline is steady, but could do with some proper strike.

Key word there was ‘Try’. The smart thing to do is to look at clubs who need certain positions and are desperate enough to take a punt.

Hull fans quick to forget Joey is playing out of position, covers numerous positions and out of contract. It’s not that far fetched a club would be willing to take a punt on him till the end of season.

Who is the outside back?

Wouldn't mind Qareqare

In all the years I have supported Rovers this is the first time I can say there is not one of FC’s squad that would improve us.

Think there’s rose tinted glasses there, just because we’re a poor unit right now doesn’t mean we have some top players:

- Clifford walks into pretty much every SL side. Bet he wishes he went Warrington to partner Williams behind their pack.
- injury free, Savelio is a Rolls Royce.
- trueman hasn’t played yet so the Jury is still out but he’s probably a bit more reliable than Lewis right now.
- Hoy would also be class in a decent side where he doesn’t have to take 10-15 hit ups from his own 10. I think fullback is probably where rovers need to look.

There’s a few of our props would also get into your 17 if they can get back into form.

Opiac has been steady for them I think. And he’s a better age than Carlos. If Carlos could stay injury free I’d have him over SKD at this point of his career.

A lot of rovers best players are the wrong side of 30 and that would be my concern if I was a rovers fan.

Where as my concern as an FC fan is we’re crap
